How to create SiriKali custom backend

An extension template looks like below.

To create a custom backend for SiriKali, take this template and then fill up all the options you need and place the file in ~/.config/SiriKali/backends or in $INSTALL_PREFIX/share/SiriKali/backends.

In Microsoft Windows operating system, the extension file can be placed in $SIRIKALI_BINARY_FOLDER/backends and extension programs can be stored in $SIRIKALI_BINARY_FOLDER/bin

The extension file name must have .json extension.

        "configFileNames": [],
        "createControlStructure": "%{createOptions} %{cipherFolder} %{mountPoint}",
        "executableName": "",
